Create sales tax calculator

[ranceforhiwd]

Here is the formula for sales tax:

Given:

Here's a list of items and their prices. Convert this list into a Python dictonary then use it to loop through and calculate the final prices of each item after a sales tax of 0.48 has been applied.

• Jacket $34.23
• Hat $15.99
• Pencil $1.12
• Beer $1.75

Create a new branch from this issue and clone the current code. Create a python file named tax_calc.py

When your program is working, create a pull request to merge the new file into the main branch

Refer to all the notes in the AWS test lambda functions we created with example code for various Python project challenges. This should be completed within 5 hours.

Finally

i created the branch and the file now im working on the list

[ranceforhiwd]

A common practice is to fully test your code locally and make sure that it works before you make a commit then test again before you make a request

[ranceforhiwd]

You will need to make several commits today

working on the probblem

[ranceforhiwd]

What problem I need details error messages, line numbers, and code

[Bgaines0808]

adjusting my indentation

[Bgaines0808]

i fixed it

[ranceforhiwd]

This is bad because you you're about to try a pool request that will close this issue what you want to do is a commit to your remote branch if it works

[ranceforhiwd]

As I already stated in this project, do not submit a pool request until it is your final answer, and the program works entirely until then you can make commits to your own remote branch

[Bgaines0808]

it works and i committed it to the repo

[ranceforhiwd]

Can you explain your output and research how to only leave two decimal places because that's the format for US currency

i ran git log

[Bgaines0808]

I ran git reset bt nothing changed immediately

[Bgaines0808]

[Bgaines0808]

i found a reference that rolls or reverts a change back , for the terminal (top) and tommorrow i need to figure out how to revert the change back that what i need to finish the project

[Bgaines0808]

I feel like before I can use any of those references first I must declare the sales tax variable although i may still be wrong thats what im thinking.

There are no comments to this update. What does it mean?

this is not a good reference because it doesn't solve your problem

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_dictionaries.asp

I made a dictionary with the items listed and i need my loop to start going through each item

[Bgaines0808]

I got the items to print to the screen bt i wasnt able to make the prices show

[Bgaines0808]

I was able to finish with getting the items to print to the screen , the prices didnt show bt ill look into tomorrow . also i cant tell if the sales tax was applied.The "tax variable" was declared bt see its application im not sure of.

[Bgaines0808]

I tried this formula cause it looked like it would multiple everything by the variable tax bt i dont think that worked

[Bgaines0808]

[Bgaines0808]

I tried to convert to a float

[Bgaines0808]

is the dictionary in the right spot? to multiply it by the sales tax (.48) by all the items in the dictionary its next to the float (thisdict)

[Bgaines0808]

I put the other variables in front of the dictionary so it wouldnt say its undefined

[ranceforhiwd]

I tried to convert to a float

your dictionary values are the wrong datatype

[ranceforhiwd]

Your initial dictionary declaration is not the correct data type for the values. Investigate declaring a dictionary of decimal values.

[Bgaines0808]

so my dictionary looks a bit different now and im getting a error that saying my arguments are repeating [SyntaxError: keyword argument repeated]

[Bgaines0808]

i dont thinks its right i added in the .48 cent my self individually, the program should have done that

[ranceforhiwd]

so my dictionary looks a bit different now and im getting a error that saying my arguments are repeating [SyntaxError: keyword argument repeated]

Every time you declare value inside a quotes, it becomes a string

[Bgaines0808]

are they saying my key is repeating not the value

[Bgaines0808]

if its repeating i should just say item 1x and list the all the items in the dictionary?

[ranceforhiwd]

The dictionary is not the correct syntax

[Bgaines0808]

I took all the parenthesis off my dictionary bt now its saying all my keys cant befined also, the tutorial has quotes

[ranceforhiwd]

can we talk about this:

[Bgaines0808]

Updating my project I needed to correct the form and put quotes around the word in the key and no quotes for the values or integers but I'm taking a break. I will be back after my doctor appointment.

[Bgaines0808]

working

[Bgaines0808]

so to perform this exercise i need to complete all 4 at one time? y=2.8 b=int(y) print(b) print (type(b))

all four need to be done to convert a float to a integer?

[Bgaines0808]

im not sure 100% which line is breaking bt i know its "thisdict" is one of them

[Bgaines0808]

when I troubleshoot 1st I copy and paste the problem into google. Then I look for references online for people who solved similar problems on forums like stackover flow. I also look for online videos were they are talking me through on youtube.

This is a great start, follow those steps and you'll solve issues faster.

[Bgaines0808]

in this example, what does self mean?

[ranceforhiwd]

I uploaded the solution in the repo for this project
